(I then erased everyting).Ģ) If I create a subfolder WORK in my Local Folders directory '''in TB''' and I import all the subfolders of the huge WORK folder, the all hirarchy of the WORK folder is imported but all imported sudirectories are empty. Same thing if I put both the WORK.mbox file with the huge WORK folder in the Local Folders directory '''of my profile'''. I would so much like to leave Mail under Catalina which is a real disaster and TB is exactly what I need!ġ) If I put the huge WORK folder in the Local Folders directory '''of my profile''', nothing appears in TB, only empty boxes. Your suggestions are again very welcome and I thank you again for your help! Doing it by hand (I don't know whether it's possible) would take me hours with all other mailboxes I have to import.
#Mbox file how to#
That's where I'm at and even if it seems close to the solution, I don't know how to get the correct names of subfolders. So it seems that this option works but the names of the sub-folders are not correctly transcribed. (I again erased everyting).ģ) But now, if I right click on the WORK sub-folder I created in my Local folders in TB, ask to import mailboxes and select the method: "choose a folder where to look for the Mbox files to import (including sub-folders)" then it will correctly import the sub-folders BUT without the correct names (see the second attached picture).

So here, I already have a difference with your case since in your case, the 2020.mbox file is large whereas it is only 36 bytes in my case.ġ) If I put the huge WORK folder in the Local Folders directory of my profile, nothing appears in TB, only empty boxes. Here, you see that the WORK.mbox folder is only 36 bytes and the mbox file inside is 0 KB, which seems normal to me because my WORK folder does not contain any messages at level 0 but it contains several subdirectories of total size 3,45Gb. When I export it (including subdirectories), I get what you see in the attached image.

Suppose I want to export a mailbox called WORK in Apple Mail to TB (like your 2020 folder). Thank you for your help Stans but now I see the difference with your export on Sierra.
